Essential fructosuria is a genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [3] Mutations in the KHK gene, located on chromosome 2p23.3-23.2 are responsible. The incidence of essential fructosuria has been estimated at 1:130,000. [4] The actual incidence is likely higher, because those affected are asymptomatic. [citation ...
These can progress to apathy, coma and convulsions if the source is not recognized early. [5] When patients are diagnosed with HFI, a dietary history will often reveal an aversion to fruit and other foods that contain large amounts of fructose. Most adult patients do not have any dental caries. [5] [6]
Symptoms of both GSD types IIa and IIb are very similar due to a defect in lysosomes. However, in type IIb, some show abnormal glycogen accumulation, but not all. Classic infantile form (Pompe disease): Cardiomyopathy and muscular hypotonia. In some respiratory involvement. Juvenile and adult form: Myopathy of the skeletal muscles. Exercise ...
Falls are the leading cause of both nonfatal and fatal injuries among older adults, with 25% of people ages 65 and over suffering from a serious fall every year — that's 29 million bad falls and ...
The symptoms of both Pompe and Danon diseases are very similar due to a defect in lysosomes. However, in Danon disease, some show abnormal glycogen accumulation, but not all. [15] Progressive proximal skeletal muscle weakness with varied timeline to threshold of functional limitation (early childhood to adulthood).
Adults born preterm have higher all-cause mortality rates as compared to full-term adults. Premature birth is associated with a 1.2x to 1.6x increase in all-cause mortality rates during early to mid-adulthood. Those born extremely prematurely (22–27 weeks) have an even higher mortality rate of 1.9x to 4.0x. [3]
About half of people with adult polyglucosan body disease experience dementia. [1] Most people with the condition first complain of bladder issues. [2] People with adult polyglucosan body disease typically first experience signs and symptoms related to the condition between ages 30 and 60. [1]
The inability to break down glycogen in muscle cells causes muscle weakness. The probable result is cirrhosis and death within five years. In adults, the activity of the enzyme is higher and symptoms do not appear until later in life. [citation needed]
